    Sigh. You are misunderstanding infinity... I think wrt infinity, when
    you hear the word "complete", your mind instantly thinks, "finite".

    Can you add a natural number to the set of all natura, numbers?

    Infinity is not finite...

    Sure - adding a number that is already contained in ℕ, doesn't change
    the cardinality of the set, since equal elements are counted as one
    element.

    But you can do the following described by Cantor:

    "That ℵo is a transfinite number, that is to say, is
    not equal to any finite number μ, follows from the
    simple fact that, if to the aggregate {ν} is added a
    new element e_0, the union-aggregate ({ν}, e_0 ) is
    equivalent to the original aggregate {ν}. For we
    can think of this reciprocally univocal correspondence
    between them: to the element e_0 of the first
    corresponds the element 1 of the second, and to the
    element ν of the first corresponds the element ν + 1 of
    the other. By §3 we thus have

    (2) ℵo + 1 = ℵo "

    (Georg Cantor:
    Contributions to the founding of the theory of tranfinite numbers.
    Dover Publications, 1915; p.104)

    If so, then the bijection of ℕ with E = {2, 4, 6, ...} would prove
    that both sets have the same number of elements.

    Infinite sets don't have a "number of elements". This concept (which can
    only be used for finite sets) is generalized for infinite sets by the
    concept of "transfinite cardinal numbers".

    And indeed: there is a bijection from the set of natural numbers ℕ
    to the set of even natural numbers 𝔼 = {2, 4, 6, ..}.

    f: ℕ → 𝔼 , n ↦ 2n

    This function is both injective (or one-to-one) and surjective (or
    onto), thus it is bijective.

    Then the completion of E resulting in E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
    would double the number of its elements. Then there are more natural
    numbers than were originally in ℕ.

    Rubbish. The cardinality of an infinite set is described by an
    transfinite cardinal number and not by a finite "number of elements".
    Your problem is: You try to apply facts, that hold for finite sets,
    on infinite sets. That doesn't work.

    Yep, because "infinity" just doesn't obey the logic you are used to, and
    insist on using, even in cases it can't be appled to, making your logic
    system just all blown up to smithereens.

    Turns out that aleph0 = aleph0 - 1, = aleph0 + 1 = aleph0 / 2 =
    aleph0 * 2 = aleph0 ^ 2 = square root (aleph0)

    despite that breaking most of you concepts of the logic of numbers.

    Sure

    Of course.

    But you can do the following described by Cantor:

    both sets has not one element more nor less than the other!

    Here we do not use the rubbish of cardinality but the definition of

    It has more elements than before, namely all odd numbers.

    By your

    But the odd numbers could be added.

    Irrelevant. You cannot add a natural number to ℕ. But a bijection of ℕ
    with |E = {2, 4, 6, ...} would prove that both sets have the same number
    of elements. Adding an element to |E destroys this state and shows ℕ is larger than ℕ. Contradiction!

    Sigh. You are misunderstanding infinity... I think wrt infinity,
    when you hear the word "complete", your mind instantly thinks,
    "finite".

    Can you add a natural number to the set of all natura, numbers?

    ℕ is not finite!

    But it is complete. Sets are complete in ZF.

    I think you are confusing complete with finite. This is not true of ℕ.

    Try to think better. Complete means complete, i.e., no element of ℕ is available to be added to ℕ.



    Infinity is not finite...

    But logic has to be observed.

    Right. So any natural number you give me, I can say that plus one.

    And that is also already in ℕ.

    This is why ℕ + 1 = ℕ

    No. ℕ + 1 is undefined.

    The set of odd numbers is infinite.
    There are an infinite number of natural numbers.
    infinity = infinity.
    Density is another matter.

    I prefer
    finity = finity, and

    "Everything else" sounds vague, which is my point.

    "Finite" has clear, specific descriptions.
    "Other than finite" has what?

    It seems to me that
    a specific role will have an associated infinity
    -- though, even here, other infinities can be
    shoehorned into or spackled onto.

    It's complicated.

    Density is another matter.

    .01->.001 can represent infinity...
    Its denser, so to speak.

    Ah, well. It's complicated.

    ℕ is discrete. ℚ is dense.
    ℕ and ℚ have the same infinity.

    ℝ has a larger infinity.
    ℝ is denser than dense ℚ? I guess?

    For any set S, its power set 𝒫(S) is larger.
    Even for infinite sets.

    |ℕ| = |ℚ| < |ℝ| ≤ |𝒫(ℚ)| < |𝒫(𝒫(ℚ))| < ...

    𝒫(𝒫(𝒫(ℚ))) is even more denser than dense?
    I suspect that this is not a fruitful path
    which we're on.

    Just spitballing, what if
    graduating to a new infinity involves
    a semi.arbitrary description inserted somewhere?
    Like ??? in
    𝒫(ℚ) ⊇ {S ⊆ ℚ: S is ??? } ∈ 𝒫(𝒫(ℚ))

    Perhaps someone else has thought about this
    and pointed out its strengths and weaknesses.
    I confess that I haven't looked for them, yet.
    Spitballing is easier.

    Not showing a bijection is not the same as not having a bijection.

    Showing a not bijection proves different sizes of sets.
    Why is that more meaningful than Cantor's bijections?

    Between infinite sets there cannot exist any mapping because most elements
    are dark. But we can assume that very simple mappings like f(x) = x are
    true even for dark elements.

    Therefore between the rational numbers and the natural numbers f(n) = n/1

    Since you can only validly and consistantly talk about infinite sets in

    Nope. Cantor shows that there may well be "failed" attempts at a

    Between infinite sets there cannot exist any mapping because most

    Nope, that just shows that you logic system just can't handle these systems.


    Therefore between the rational numbers and the natural numbers f(n) =
    n/1 can be accepted, also f(n) = 1/n, but not f(n) = 2n.


    Nope. Just shows the limits of your logic.

    That is all your logic seems to allow, but then it can't actually handle
    those infinite sets.

    We are talking about ACTUAL infinite sets, not just "potential", but
    perhaps your definition are that squirely,

    All the elements of N are finite numbers, so none are actually infinite,
    but their values are unbounded, and thus don't have a maximum.

    That might be what you are calling "potential infinity"

    The set N itself, is infinite in size, since no finite number can
    describe it.

    These "Countable Infinite" sets are on this strange boundry between
    finite and infinite that cause a lot of "common sense" to break.

    The clown WM drivels:

    One may construct such a set "N-with-omega".

    Under f(x) = 2x we get the image {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ..., 2ω}.

    One may also define such a function, which domain contains both sort of ordinals,

    The above sentence is very idiotic nonsense, because this set would contain
    the union of W1 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...} of card ω and W2 = {2ω} of card 1.

    You are way too dense for even simplest thinking and math...

    Because it is showable that you CAN make non-working attempts at
    bijections on infinite sets that you can also show working bijections,
    so clearly, failed bijections do not show that infinite sets are of a
    different size.

    That is just one of the interesting properties of infinity and

    Some things that might seem "obvious" in the finite world, just don't work.

    Because it is easy to come up with failed bijections for sets that a
    succefful bijection exists.

    Thus failed bijections for infinite sets do not prove different sizes.

    This is just one of the interesting properties of infinite/transfinite

    I know for sure that WM thinks
    there is a largest natural number.
    That must be his last element.

    I think that, in WM's telling,
    ω is _immediately after_ the largest natural number,
    and
    proofs that
    "immediately before ω" does not describe
    anything non.self.contradictory
    are proofs that
    darkᵂᴹ numbers exist.
    In WM's telling.

    I think that WM thinks that, in our telling,
    ω is a natural number one gets to
    by going out out out to "infinity"
    and the word "infinite" is in the same family
    as "humongous" and "ginormous" except it uses
    special characters WM won't or can't read,
    which which are what makes "infinite" mathematics.

    For the record,
    matheologians (AKA not.WM) do not say that.
    That which we call ω
    by any other word would smell as sweet.

    Finite and infinite are as different as
    rational and irrational are.

    Still, I do not know why he thinks that way.
    Oh well. Shit happens.

    Why he thinks that
    is a question for psychologists.

    I speculate that
    Wolfgang Mückenheim has been seduced by
    decades of students at Hochschule Augsburg
    memorizing whatever fool thing pops into his head
    into thinking that
    it is impossible for him to be wrong.
    Saying otherwise, or worse, showing otherwise
    is just _rude_
    like a student interrupting a lecture.
    Possibly.

    Well, IN is defined this way. I mean, as the set of _all_ natural numbers.

    If so, then the bijection of ℕ with E = {2, 4, 6, ...} would prove that both sets have the same number of elements.

    Of course. #IN = aleph_0 = #E.

    Then the completion of E resulting in E* = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}[.] [Hence the number of E*'s elements] would [be twice] the number of [E's] elements.

    Exactly!

    Hint: The number of elements in E is aleph_0. And 2 * aleph_0 = aleph_0
    + aleph_0 = aleph_0.

    Then there are more natural numbers than were originally in ℕ.

    Nope, since 2 * aleph_0 = aleph_0.

    Just think of it as a model of modularity,
    that modules are of equal size, that modules
    have a grain or equi-partitioning, as the
    number or count of those increases, and
    then as in the infinite limit and continuum limit,
    that the boundaries of the modules maintain their
    proportion, of course though this is still very "natural".

    The modularity of numbers is a key term with trichotomy.

    Otherwise this sort of f(n) = n, f(n) = 2n, and so on,
    simply reflect as a function and functional relation,
    how it so happens that systems of equations include
    the algebra of functions, keeping things simple.

    Whether natural numbers include infinite numbers,
    the infinitely-grand, has that according to naive

    simply reflect as a function and functional relation,
    how it so happens that systems of equations include
    the algebra of functions, keeping things simple.

    Whether natural numbers include infinite numbers,
    the infinitely-grand, has that according to naive
    expansion of comprehension they do. It's just the
    regular ordinary opinion of regular ordinary set
    theory, they don't.

    Where do you see trichotomy? The above sequence lists all existent
    ordinals (including limit ordinals) winthin a linear order up to eps_0,
    does it.

    Beim Begriff der Menge bleibt außer Betracht, ob es unter den Elementen zusätzlich irgendeine Ordnung geben könnte, Mengen sind zunächst ungeordnete Gebilde. Ist eine Reihenfolge der Elemente von Bedeutung, dann spricht man stattdessen von einer endlichen oder unendlichen Folge, wenn sich die Folgenglieder mit den natürlichen Zahlen aufzählen lassen (das erste,
    das zweite usw.).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mathematics)
    In a set, all that matters is whether each element is in it or not,
    so the ordering of the elements in roster notation is irrelevant (in
    contrast, in a sequence, a tuple, or a permutation of a set, the ordering
    of the terms matters).

    All ordinals which exist exist.

    Why do you (WM) think
    ψ: ψ+1 = ω is one of the former, not the latter?

    tl;dr
    If ⟦0,ψ⟧ is finite, then ⟦0,ψ⟧∪{ψ+1} is finite.


    ⟦0,ω⟧ is not.finite.
    For each ordinal ψ before ω
    ⟦0,ψ⟧ is finite.

    If ψ+1 = ω
    then
    ψ is before ω
    ⟦0,ψ⟧ is finite,
    ⟦0,ψ⟧∪{ψ+1} is finite [!]
    ⟦0,ψ⟧∪{ψ+1} = ⟦0,ψ+1⟧ = ⟦0,ω⟧
    ⟦0,ω⟧ is finite.

    However,

    So?

    That isn't the Bijection we are looking for.

    It is true for every mapping.

    Nope, only if you try to biject WITH a set, and not between two
    DIFFERENT sets.

    The different sets are ℕ and ℚ. The bijection with the first column does not change that.

    Yes it does, as you are not "moving" the O out of the set of Q.

    That makes a difference.

    What we think is that

    That is the same as saying
    if
    each non.empty subset S ⊆ ⟦0,ψ⟧
    has both a least and a greatest element in S
    then
    each non.empty subset S′ ⊆ ⟦0,ψ⟧∪{ψ+1}
    has both a least and a greatest element in S′


    For each ⟦0,ψ⟧ finite or infinite,
    either ⟦0,ψ⟧ < ⟦0,ψ+1⟧ < ⟦0,ψ+2⟧ are each finite,
    or ⟦0,ψ⟧ < ⟦0,ψ+1⟧ < ⟦0,ψ+2⟧ are each infinite.

    ⟦0,ω⟧ is first.infinite.
    For ⟦0,κ⟧ < ⟦0,ω⟧ < ⟦0,λ⟧
    ⟦0,κ⟧ is finite and
    ⟦0,λ⟧ is infinite.

    | Assume ⟦0,ψ+1⟧ = ⟦0,ω⟧

    Therefore,
    ⟦0,ψ+1⟧ ≠ ⟦0,ω⟧

    Not really. There are (german) textbooks which treats "fractions" as
    ordered pairs (of natural numbers =/= 0) and the positive rationals as equivalence classes of these "fractions".

    It's a little bit unlucy that the expression "n/m" may be used as a name
    for the fraction (i.e. (n,m)) as well as a name for the rational number.

    (a) expressing fractions: 1/1 =/= 2/2

    (b) expressiong rational numbers: 1/1 = 1/2.

    And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
    And look upon myself and curse my fate,
    Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
    Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
    Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
    With what I most enjoy contented least;
    Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
    Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
    (Like to the lark at break of day arising
    From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
    For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
    That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

    It will be interesting to find out
    how long that will stay true.

    Yet, are you a platonist?
    A mathematical platonist?

    I think this covers it:

    | Most writers on the subject seem to agree that
    | the typical working mathematician is
    | a Platonist on weekdays and
    | a formalist on Sundays.
    |
    — Philip J. Davis

    It would be an impressive exaggeration to call me
    "a working mathematician", but
    I can mathematick, I have, and I will.

    When I mathematick,
    real numbers exist. Full stop.

    When I want an answer, it's easier to think about
    teeny.tiny.dot.real.numbers ...somewhere ...somehow.
    Existing Platonically.

    However,
    when I want to give a reason to mathematick,
    "Look at these formulas" just seems to me
    way more effective than
    "Somewhere... somehow... there are teeny.tiny.dots".
    And that's formalist.

    I think you've mostly seen formalist.me.
    Mostly, I've been doing
    Sunday.style big.picture stuff.
    Hand me a different problem, and
    you'll discover a different me.

    Right, but that "Proper Subset" is considered as an independent item,
    not as just pieces of the original set.

    You don't seem to understand what a "Set" is.

    Looking at the set of numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...}

    Just "marking" every other one as:

    { 1, 2*, 3, 4*. 5, 6*, 7, 8*, ...}

    The marked numbers are not a Subset (yet) but just a piece of a set.

    You can make them a set, and thus a subset by creating the set as:

    {2, 4, 6, 8, ...}

    Your sloppiness might work in finite sets, and you only seem to think in
    finte terms, but it doesn't work for infinte sets, because it causes
    these sorts of issues.


    By your logic, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for the "subset" to be
    equinumerous, as you have shown.

    This doesn't mean that statement is false, just that it uses definitions
    that differ from what you seem to be willing to use, so you have
    excluded yourself from those parts of logic.

    x² + f²(x) = 1

    The horizontal and vertical grid.to.grid segments

    a continuous but not.differentiable curve

    The length of

    That limit is 2

    As n ⟶ ∞
    for dₙ = the maximum distance between the circle and
    those joined horizontal and vertical segments
    dₙ ⟶ 0

    It's very reasonable to define 'limit' in such a way
    that the limit of the horizontal and vertical segments
    is the circle.

    However,
    unless π = 4
    the arc.length of the limit (circle) is not

    It's simple that the continuum limit, a limit of functions,
    as we used to say modeling a function as a limit of a family
    of functions, like for Dirac delta, these days it's often
    called a "generalized distribution", such a function, with
    its real analytical character, here the Equivalency Function
    is unlike the Dirac delta in that it's not just an infinite
    spike at the origin only under which is area one, while,
    it is integrable, which is particularly unique for a function
    from a discrete domain, and under it is area one, thus that
    it's a generalized distribution if you will, while also it's
    a continuum limit with the usual meaning of the words.

    Then, that its range has extent, density, completeness, measure,
    particularly completeness and measure, in [0,1], establishes
    its range is a continuous domain, that instead of one or
    the other of line-reals or field-reals, there are both.

    If I recall correctly, your claim is that
    lim[n→∞, n∈ℕ] {d/n: 0≤d≤n, d∈ℕ} = [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ = {x∈ℝ: 0≤x≤1}

    Define
    [0,1]ᴿꟳ =
    lim[n→∞, n∈ℕ] {d/n: 0≤d≤n, d∈ℕ}

    How do we know ⅟√​̅2 ∈ [0,1]ᴿꟳ ?


    Using my upthread definition of ℝ
    define
    [0,1]ⁿᵒᵗᐧᴿꟳ =
    { x = lub bnes ⊆ ℚ: 0≤x≤1}

    lub least.upper.bound
    bnes bounded.non.empty.set

    How we know ⅟√​̅2 ∈ [0,1]ⁿᵒᵗᐧᴿꟳ is that
    ⅟√​̅2 = lub bnes {p: p² < ⅟2 } ⊆ ℚ

    By the upthread definition,
    [0,1]ⁿᵒᵗᐧᴿꟳ = [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ


    Define
    [0,1]ˡⁱᵐᐧˢᵘᵖ =
    ⋂{ ⋃{{d/q: 0≤d≤q, d∈ℕ}: q≥n, q∈ℕ}: n∈ℕ}

    For each n ∈ ℕ,
    each s ∈ ℕ⁺ has a multiple q > n
    ∀n∈ℕ, ∀s∈ℕ⁺, ∃q∈ℕ: s | q > n

    ∀n∈ℕ:
    ⋃{{d/q: 0≤d≤q, d∈ℕ}: q≥n, q∈ℕ} =
    {d/s: 0≤(d/s)≤1, (d/s)∈ℚ} =
    [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ

    [0,1]ˡⁱᵐᐧˢᵘᵖ =
    ⋂{[0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ: n∈ℕ} =
    [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ

    We know ⅟√​̅2 ∉ [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ = [0,1]ˡⁱᵐᐧˢᵘᵖ Thus, [0,1]ˡⁱᵐᐧˢᵘᵖ ≠ [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ

    However,
    [0,1]ˡⁱᵐᐧˢᵘᵖ uses a very.widely.used, very.sensible
    definition of a limit of a set.sequence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_limit

    Your definition
    lim[n→∞, n∈ℕ] {d/n: 0≤d≤n, d∈ℕ}
    would need some other definition,
    a definition which I have not seen you (RF) give.

    What is the definition of limit which you use?
    Or, is it instead that
    [0,1]ᴿꟳ ≠ [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ
    ?

    [0,1]ᴿꟳ = [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ


    I gave an example of what would support
    such a claim, from a different definition.
    [0,1]ⁿᵒᵗᐧᴿꟳ =
    { x = lub bnes ⊆ ℚ: 0≤x≤1}

    lub least.upper.bound
    bnes bounded.non.empty.set

    I'm not telling you to do it my way, but,
    if not my way, then how?

    There's not much said except that
    d goes to infinity, and n goes to d.
    (Thus that it's not just zero.)

    I think it's essential to your project
    that more be said.

    I have inserted what I can, as best I can,
    of what you might mean.

    For example, for some reason, you really like
    to call a connected domain "continuous",
    an adjective I expect to see applied to
    a function. Not a deal.breaker.

    You have the opportunity to correct my insertions
    where I have misunderstood you.

    I read "goes to" as "ranges up to"
    which is why I write
    lim[d→∞, d∈ℕ] lim[n→d, n∈ℕ] n/d =
    lim[d→∞, d∈ℕ] {n/d: 0≤n≤d, n∈ℕ}

    And there's the rub.

    I can expand the limit in an often.used way
    lim[d→∞, d∈ℕ] {d/n: 0≤n≤d, n∈ℕ} =
    ⋂[d∈ℕ] ⋃[d′≥d:d′∈ℕ] {n/d′: 0≤n≤d′, n∈ℕ}

    However,
    ⋂[d∈ℕ+] ⋃[d′≥d:d′∈ℕ] {n/d′: 0≤n≤d′, n∈ℕ} = [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ

    [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ ≠ [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ ∌ ⅟√​̅2

    But
    [0,1]ᴿꟳ =
    lim[d→∞, d∈ℕ⁺] lim[n→d, n∈ℕ] n/d =
    lim[d→∞, d∈ℕ⁺] {n/d: 0≤n≤d, n∈ℕ} =
    ⋂[d∈ℕ+] ⋃[d′≥d:d′∈ℕ] {n/d′: 0≤n≤d′, n∈ℕ} = [0,1]ʳᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ

    Either
    that's how "limit" is defined here and
    [0,1]ᴿꟳ ≠ [0,1]ᶜᵒⁿᵗⁱⁿᵘᵘᵐ
    or
    "limit" is defined some other way and
    you should say what that way is.

    We call them finiteⁿᵒᵗᐧᵂᴹ.

    You dislike not.Mückenheim sets,
    which, de gustibus non disputandum est,
    is not a problem, either.

    If you don't want to talk about not.Mückenheim sets,
    you can not.talk about not.Mückenheim sets.

    Your problem is that you think that, by both
    disliking and talking about not.Mückenheim sets,
    not.Mückenheim sets become Mückenheim sets.

    Sadly for you, fortunately for not.you,
    arithmetic is not impressed by your résumé.

    But we can use the ordinal axis
    as Cantor has described it
    0, 1, 2, 3, ...,
    ω, ω + 1, ..., ω + k, ...,
    ω + ω (= ω2), ω2 + 1, ..

    The Mückenheim ordinals are confined to
    the first row, before ω

    We can talk about the others.
    We can not.talk about the others.
    Either way, the others aren't Mückenheim.

    and multiply 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., ω, by 2.

    Two times anything on the first row
    is something on the first row.

    Being on the first row is determined by
    the Mückenheim property.

    If ⟨1,...,k⟩ has the Mückenheim property
    then ⟨1,...,k,k+1,...,k+k⟩ also has it
    and is also on the first row, before ω

    One way to describe ordinal k as Mückenheim ==
    as first.row number k == as k before ω is that
    non.0 k and each non.0 before k
    has an immediate predecessor.

    k+k ​̄⟶ k+k-1 ​̄⟶ ... ​̄⟶ k+1 ​̄⟶ k ​̄⟶ ... ​̄⟶ 0

    Each non.0 Mückenheim ordinal (before ω) has
    an immediate predecessor.
    If ω also had an immediate predecessor,
    ω would be on the first row,
    instead of beginning the second row.

    The difference between ⟦0,m+1⟧ and ⟦0,ω⟧ is
    how large?

    Is it ω for every m?

    ∀k,m ∈ ⟦0,ω⦆: k+m ∈ ⟦0,ω⦆
    So, yes.

    Then it is variable, not a fixed number.
    Actually infinite sets are constant.
    Potentially infinite collections are variable.

    ⟦0,ω⦆ doesn't change.
    ∀k,m ∈ ⟦0,ω⦆: k+m ∈ ⟦0,ω⦆

    Perhaps there is a problem with
    your assertion that all sets are Mückenheim.

    That is contradicted by this argument: Two times all numbers of 1, 2, 3,

    That is contradicted by

    The successor operation is closed in
    the natural numbers.
    Natural.number.addition is closed in
    the natural numbers.
    Natural.number.multiplication is closed in
    the natural numbers.

    Those claims are theorems.
    In order to be theorems,
    it is important to know the meaning of
    successor, natural number, addition and multiplication.

    If you want to see the proofs, ask.

    Consider the successor.operation ⁺¹ which is
    non.0, 1.to.1, and closed in the successor.havers.
    i⁺¹≠0 ∧ ¬∃h≠i:h⁺¹=i⁺¹ ∧ ∃k=i⁺¹⁺¹ ∧ 1=0⁺¹

    For some successor.havers k
    a set ⟦0,k⦆ exists such that
    predecessor k⁻¹ of k and
    predecessor i⁻¹ of each i≠0 in ⟦0,k⦆ and
    0 are in ⟦0,k⦆
    ∀i ∈ ⟦0,k⦆: i⁺¹ ∈ ⦅0,k⟧

    The natural numbers ℕ are
    0 and successor.havers with ⟦0,k⦆ like that
    k ∈ ℕ ⟺
    k=0 ∨ ∃⟦0,k⦆: ∀i ∈ ⟦0,k⦆: i⁺¹ ∈ ⦅0,k⟧

    That successor operation ⁺¹ is closed in ℕ
    If
    ∃⟦0,k⦆: ∀i ∈ ⟦0,k⦆: i⁺¹ ∈ ⦅0,k⟧
    then

    As is stated as (i) a Peano axiom (where we do not differentiate between visibleᵂᴹ and darkᵂᴹ natural numbers)

    An e IN: s(n) e IN

    or (ii) can be PROVED in set theory, where s(x) := x u {x} and IN := the intersection of all "successor sets". [Hence IN is a successor set

    Nope, because there isn't a "last" natural number, so the statement "no
    further one exists" isn't factual, but your false logic of using logic
    that only works on finite sets on an infinite set.

    Multiplying ANY Natural numbers (which are all finite) by two, results
    in another finite Natural Number.

    Right! And this new natural number is already in the set of all natural numbers. Why can't WM get this! God damn.

    His brain (or "mind") can't deal with (the concept of) "ininite sets",

    I welcome your comment,

    The reason I wrote things out this way
    k=0 ∨ ∃⟦0,k⦆: ∀i ∈ ⟦0,k⦆: i⁺¹ ∈ ⦅0,k⟧
    is that I want to express "natural number"
    without depending upon "what everyone's saying"

    A large part of the struggle going on here
    isn't really over mathematics at all.
    Instead, it is over _what are we talking about_

    Here, with WM,
    depending upon "what everyone's saying"
    is a certain path to WM taking what I'm saying
    some other way. That becomes more difficult, at least,
    if I embed _the way to take what I'm saying_
    over and over and over.

    some of the constants are _running_ in the energy
    and configuration of experiment, it results they
    get not only more precise, even actually, _smaller_.

    Or, you know, larger.

    Since 2019,
    Avogadro's constant has been defined as
    exactly 6.02214076×10²³ =
    602,214,076,000,000,000,000,000

    Given the declared intentions and past behavior
    of the constant.definers, I can't imagine them
    changing it ever again.
    You might say that it has stopped running.


    I was shown, some time ago, something like
    what you describe maybe: a history of
    measurements of the speed of light.

    The reported values wander, no surprise,
    as they are measurements, not definitions.
    But they wander _less than_ their error bars
    indicated that they should wander.
    Except, sometimes there is a leap well.outside
    the "random" cluster to a _new_ cluster
    of measurements wandering less.than.expected.

    These are measurements made in different decades,
    in different centuries, with different equipment,
    by different methods, with different technology,
    by different people, for different institutions.

    And yet, there are these signs of coordination.


    The explanation I was offered is that these
    scientific humans, presented with a value
    kind.of.far from that day's consensus,
    will look for a reason that it's that far.
    And these are all clever people, remember.
    They will find a reason.

    Except for sometimes, when the technology has
    improved to the point that there will be
    no reconciling of the result with the consensus,
    and a new consensus is born.

    That is nonsense, because one number more than ℕ is one number more, independent of what alephs can count.
    But it is impossible to have one natural number more than all of ℕ.

    Just says your logic can't handle those cases, or values like the alephs.

    Yes, Mückenheim.

    Proof:

    Def.: n is a /natural number/ iff n e IN.

    Hence for any n: If n is a natural number it's in IN. With other words,
    all natural numbers are in IN. (Hence no natural number "can be added",

    If you throw away half of them, namely all odd numbers, then you have less natural numbers: E = |ℕ|/2. If you add another set of |ℕ|/2 even
    numbers, these even numbers cannot be natural numbers. (Because all even natural numbers are in E.)
